As There Is No Worldly Gain Without

When Ambitious Men Find An Open Passage, They Are Rather Busy Than Dangerous; And If Well Watched In Their Proceedings, They Will Catch Them Selves In Their Own Snare, And Prepare A Way For Their Own Destruction.

Physicians, Of All Men, Are Most Happy; Whatever Good Success Soever They Have, The World Proclaimeth; And What Faults They Commit, The Earth Covereth.

The Worldly Wisdom Of The Foolish Man Is Like A Sieve, That Does Alone Retain The Grosser Substance Of The Worthless Bran: But Thou, My Soul, Let Thy Brave Thoughts Disdain So Coarse A Purchase: O Be Thou A Fan To Purge The Chaff, And Keep The Winnow'd Grain: Make Clean Thy Thoughts, And Dress Thy Mixt Desires: Thou Art Heav'n's Tasker, And Thy God Requires The Purest Of Thy Flow'r, As Well As Of Thy Fires.

To Fear Death Is The Way To Live Long; To Lie Afraid Of Death Is To Be Long A Dying.
